From an idea posted on MHAFM: My Home Away From Home.

Liar, Liar

1. I have held the door for a member of the British Royal family, twice.
2. A doctor once found a wood tick on a particularly hidden part of my anatomy.
3. I was tossed out of a party for biting a girl on the bum.
4. I have paid more than $200 CDN to have my laundry done.
5. I have watched the Star Wars Trilogy more than 100 times.
6. I have eaten muskrat, wallaby, and camel.
7. I once directed airplanes at an airport in Canada.
8. I have worked under the influence of a controlled substance.
9. I once fired an automatic weapon (a sub-machine gun!).
10. I lived on nothing but Cherry 7-Up and chicken noodle soup for more than a month.

Ok, your turn. Which three of the above statements are false? :)

The Answers

1. I held the door for Princess Anne when she visited McKenzie Seeds when I was in Air Cadets. Once on the way in and once on the way out.
2. After take a trek through the fields around Oo-Za-We-Kwun (did I spell that correctly?) with friends we strolled through some chest high bushes and picked up a boatload of the wee red tick devils. The next day or day after that a "hanger on" was discovered by the doc. Let's just say he was trying to go in through the out door.
3. Ok, so I drank a lot in my early years. I accompanied Lyall and Jyoti to a party where in a mad fit of intoxicated playfulness I did bite, more a nibble, a young lady on the bum. She didn't mind. They guy she was there with seemed perturbed. We left quickly. Ah, the good old days, if only I could remember them through the alcohol induced haze.
4. Rebeca and I paid more than $200 CDN to have our tshirts and underpants scrubbed and wrapped in plastic at the Hyatt(?) in Taipei.
5. I have NOT watched the Star Wars trilogy 100 times. Not even close. Despite the large quantity of hardened petro-chemical Star Wars toys I possess I have not seem the movies that many times. I prefer to let them age, enjoyed on select occasions, like to celebrate a divorce, the birth of a child, a GST rebate...special times!
6. I have eaten muskrat and wallaby, the latter much tastier than the former. I have NOT eaten camel. I would not consider eating camel having rode on the back of the gentle beast it would seem so very wrong.
7. Indeed I did direct aircraft at the Brandon Airport as part of an Air Cadet fundraiser. It was colder than it should have been and I was dressed in a very thin, not very warm flight suit and a pair of totally inadequate gloves out on the windy tarmac using hand signals to marshal the planes into position to take on more passengers. It was a load of fun!
8. Again, recall this was done in my much sillier days but I did on a few occassions appear at work under the influence of controlled substances. Be thankful I was a cook and never did become a brain surgeon or airline pilot or carny. Looking back I think I baked some of my most delicious cakes while stoned.
9. Of the many firearms I have fired, numerous and varied in type and design, not once have I fired anything automatic. We had the chance in '81 in Victoria but some dude from an Army Cadet unit misbehaved and we ended up doing cleaning duties around the camp while the others went to the ranges and fired smg's. Bummer.
10. Not one of my more glorious memories but for a spell I did live on cheap cherry 7-UP and cases of chicken noodle soup. If you drink enough of it the stuff will actually help stave off the expected scurvy. ;)

So, for those keeping score the answers are: 5, 6 and 9.
